Detailed Description
In order to further describe the technical means and effects adopted for achieving the preset aim of the application, the following detailed description is given below of the specific implementation, structure, characteristics and effects according to the application with reference to the attached drawings and the preferred embodiments.
The application provides an LED display screen and a display method thereof, which can effectively improve the utilization rate by adopting an interpolation algorithm, improve the refreshing efficiency of data without changing a data refreshing clock, and further provide the refreshing frequency of the data.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a display method according to the present application in a first embodiment; fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an LED display screen according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the LED display screen includes a display driving module 610 and a display module 620. The display module comprises a plurality of display units 620-1,620-2,620-m, namely m display units, wherein m is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. The display driving module 610 includes a plurality of display driving units 610-1,610-2,610-m, i.e., m display driving units. Each display driving unit drives one display unit. In a specific embodiment, a communication mode of cascading 16 display driving chips is adopted, each display driving chip supports 16 display driving channels, and each display driving channel comprises a display driving unit. Each display driving unit includes a first buffer and a second buffer. As shown in fig. 5, each display driving unit may input a latch enable signal LE, an output enable signal OE, a clock signal, and a serial input signal SDI. The serial output terminal SDO of each display driving unit is connected to the serial input terminal SDI of the following display driving unit, and the serial input terminal receives the serial input signal SDI.
In connection with fig. 3-6, the display method of the present application includes the following operations.
The method includes receiving 1-bit display data in a set of display data and displaying the 1-bit display data in the first buffer or the second buffer in a complete display period.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, one complete display period is 256 clock periods, in which each display unit may display 1-bit display data, and the display driving units synchronized may receive 1-bit display data in a set of display data in one complete display period. The display driving module 610 may support 256 display channels, and then may need to serially receive 1-bit display data corresponding to each of the 256 display channels in a complete display period. Of course, in other embodiments, a complete display period may be 512 or other numbers of clock periods, and the display driving module 610 may support 512 or other numbers of display channels.
Typically, the display driver module 610 receives 1-bit display data during the same complete display period, and the display module 620 displays the 1-bit display data received during the previous complete display period.
As described above, the set of display data may be 8bits, but may also be other bits, where the set of display data includes a plurality of high-order display data and a plurality of low-order display data, each of the high-order display data corresponds to one or more complete display periods, and each of the low-order display data corresponds to one of the incomplete display periods. In particular, 8bits of data may beIncluding 4-bit high-order display data and 4-bit low-order display data, as in the embodiment shown in fig. 4. The 1 st low-order display data corresponds to 1/2 of a complete display period of the incomplete display period, and the n low-order display data corresponds to 1/2 of the complete display period of the incomplete display period n N is the ranking of the lower display data in the set of display data, n being equal to 4 in the example.
The two concepts of a complete display period and a non-complete display period are mentioned herein, in which 1-bit display data corresponding to all display channels can be received serially in one complete display period, and 1-bit display data corresponding to all display channels cannot be received serially in a non-complete display period. Therefore, in the incomplete display period, only the received 1-bit low-order display data is displayed, and the display data is not received.
For 1-bit high-order display data, such as the 1 st high-order display data in fig. 2 and 4, it corresponds to 8 complete display periods, i.e., the 1-bit high-order display data is displayed for all of the 8 complete display periods. However, in the prior art, the same 1-bit high-order data is still received after the first full display period for display in the next full display period. For the display mode shown in fig. 2, 19 bits of display data need to be received.
As shown in fig. 6, when the latch enable signal LE is the first type valid signal, for example, a CLK pulse is included as the first type valid signal, the received 1-bit display data is latched into the first buffer and the second buffer, and in the next complete display period (i.e., no output enable signalWhen the signal is active, the low level is active, and the enable signal is not output +.>Is an inverse of the output enable signal OE) displays 1-bit display data in the first buffer and receives the next 1-bit display data. In general, the connection is made in one complete display periodWhen 1-bit high-order display data is received, the latch enable signal LE that follows may be a first type of valid signal. The first display period, the third display period, and the fourth display period having 256 clocks shown in fig. 6 are complete display periods, the second display period and the fourth display period are incomplete display periods, the high-order data in fig. 6 may also be referred to as high-order display data, the low-order data may also be referred to as low-order display data, transmitting one set of display data may be referred to as one cycle, and the last display period of the last cycle refers to the last display period of the last set of display data.
As shown in fig. 6, when the latch enable signal is the second type valid signal, for example, two CLK pulses are included as the second type valid signal, the received 1-bit display data is latched into the first buffer, and the 1-bit display data in the first buffer is displayed in the next incomplete display period. In connection with fig. 6, in general, when 1-bit low-order display data is received in one complete display period, the next latch enable signal is a second type valid signal, for example, the latch enable signals next to the low-order data 1 and 2 received in fig. 6 are both a second type valid signal.
As shown in fig. 6, when the latch enable signal is a third type of valid signal, such as a narrow pulse, the data in the second buffer is transferred into the first switch, and the 1-bit display data in the first buffer is displayed and the next 1-bit display data is received in the next complete display period. As shown in fig. 6, in general, after one incomplete display period, new display data cannot be received at this time, so the latch enable signal is the third kind of valid signal. The third display period still displays the already cached high-order display data displayed in the first display period. That is, after one incomplete display period, 1-bit high-order display data identical to the previous complete display period is displayed in the next complete display period.
By the method, the incomplete display period can be inserted into the complete display period of the high-order display data, the utilization rate can be effectively improved, the data refreshing efficiency is improved under the condition that the data refreshing clock is not changed, and the data refreshing frequency is further provided.
As shown in fig. 4, upon receipt of the 1 st high-order display data, the high-order display data occupies 8 display periods, i.e., the 8 display periods all display the same high-order display data. Thus, a 1/2 non-complete display period may be inserted after the first complete display period, while the high-order display data displayed in the first complete display period is buffered, then the buffered high-order display data is again used to display the second complete display period, then a 1/4 non-complete display period may be inserted after the second complete display period, then the buffered high-order display data is again used to display the third complete display period, then a 1/8 non-complete display period may be inserted after the third complete display period, then the buffered high-order display data is again used to display the fourth complete display period, then a 1/16 non-complete display period may be inserted after the fourth complete display period, and finally the received high-order display data may be displayed in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth complete display periods. In the subsequent 4 full display periods (9 th to 12 th full display periods), 2 full display periods (13 th to 14 th full display periods), and 1 full display period ((15 th full display period), the received 1-bit high-order display data is displayed, respectively.
Of course, in other embodiments, after each incomplete display period is inserted into other complete display periods, for example, after 1/2 of the incomplete display period is inserted into the 6 th complete display period, 1/4 of the incomplete display period is inserted into the 7 th complete display period, 1/16 of the incomplete display period is inserted into the 19 th complete display period, and the insertion position can be adjusted as required. In the complete display period, 1-bit display data can be received, 1-bit display data can be displayed, and in the incomplete display period, 1-bit display data cannot be received, so that only the cached display content which is the same as the last complete display period can be displayed after the incomplete display period.
As shown in FIG. 4, the incomplete display period may be inserted into any one of the 2 nd-7 th complete display periods, the 9 th-11 th complete display periods, and the 13 th complete display period, at which time the high-order display data has been buffered, so that the same display content as the previous complete display period may be directly displayed after the incomplete display period.
